iClone5 Kinect Mocap Suite
This all-in-one, real-time animation suite provides you with quick capture and editing tools to animate virtual actors, environments, visual effects, 3D props and more. Use the power of drag & drop editing with access to the largest library of real-time 3D content, and a powerful physics engine for smooth subject interactions. Be amazed with this fully-featured studio that has revolutionized the art of 3D animation at a fraction of the cost! By working with iClone5 and your Microsoft Kinect for Windows sensor, now you can turn your PC into an in-house mocap, and animation production studio. With Kinect, now all users from every skill level can use their own body movements to control virtual actors, in real-time, to produce quality 3D animations in no time at all.
The 1st Mocap-to-Animation Total Solution
The first in-house Kinect mocap studio that allows you to directly bring in motion data to control virtual actors without the burden of complex motion pipelines or tedious conversion issues. Get everything you need in this tightly packaged mocap studio solution!
Real-time Character Control & Interaction
With iClone5's Kinect motion capturing system, now you can control live characters with accessories, particle effects and physics interactions. No more hassles from traditional motion data capturing, now you can capture any motion with real-time physics properties.
The Most Affordable Mocap Studio
iClone5 offers the most affordable and intuitive motion capturing solution in the industry! You no longer need expensive or annoying marker suits. Just launch iClone5 and any depth camera and turn your PC into a professional filmmaking studio.
Live Actor Tracking
With the depth cam and heat sensors, your body movements will automatically be recognized and tracked by the system without the need of additional 3D markers or sensor suits. The iClone Mocap System will quickly re-target your body when you or another person walks infront of the camera.
Virtual Accessory Manipulation
Now during body movement, your actions will trigger flowing hair and skirt segments on your character to create authentic-looking results. You can also make virtual characters hold and manipulate accessories like swaying a sword or swinging a bag during performances.
Live Physics Interaction
Besides working with virtual characters, you may also set up virtual scenes for characters to perfom in. Amazingly, you may even manipulate these characters to touch and interact with smart iprops that react automatically. If your props are set with physical attributes, then you may create collison effects with sound and visuals that respond when touched or pushed in real-time.
Real-time Character Control
iClone5 allows you to control different shapes and character styles live, so that you can enjoy performing like a monster, cartoon, comic or robot character. You may optionally capture partial body parts and mix them in with other motion data for unique actor performances.
Visual FX Manipulation
You may also attach special particle effects to characters. Create your own super heroes with unique abilities, or bring in customized wizards with enchanting spells that follow your mocap movements. Particle effects come in 3 dimensions so you can create beautiful, artistic renders from any angle.
Post Motion Editing & Optimization
The best part of iClone5 motion capture is that you may also adjust and refine your motions once you have finished capturing them. The enhnaced HIK (human inverse kinematics) Motion Editor can help you adjust captured motions naturally by layering existing motions on top of each other.
